This book is well-written, and covers the topics I had hoped it would. It has helped me get an understanding about the basics of accounting. As a small business owner I don't need all the technical stuff... and this was geared to my level. I'm glad I bought it. I'm actually going to read it again just to cement some of the ideas into my thinking.
